Summary

This trial will test the safety and tolerability of a drug called ARGX-119 in adults with DOK7- Congenital Myasthenic Syndromes. It will also look at

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with a genetic condition called DOK7-Congenital Myasthenic Syndromes. Participants must be at least 18 years old and have been on a stable dose of oral beta agonists, like albuterol or ephedrine, for over three months.
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and effects of ARGX-119 compared to a placebo in treating DOK7-CMS. Patients will receive intravenous infusions and be observed for approximately 11 months to see how their bodies react and if their symptoms improve.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed, common ones may include reactions at the infusion site, potential immune system responses to ARGX-119, fatigue, headache, muscle or joint pain.
